How do I start a romantic relationship with a ship girl?

Page 66

As his unease deepened, and just in case, after much deliberation, Warspite decided to go and inquire about another port district with a good relationship with the Royal Navy—White Eagle.

After the wide-area communication equipment was activated, consuming a large amount of resources and energy, War-weary's request was also transmitted to the corresponding manned command room on the other side.

Not long after, news of White Eagle's return arrived.

The level of activity of the Sirens' mental energy in the sea is not exactly classified information, so the White Eagles did not choose to keep it a secret from the Royal Navy, which is a relatively good ally. Instead, they generously transmitted the information about the seas they were in charge of.

After comparing and analyzing the information gathered by both sides, Warspite frowned even more deeply.

She was surprised to find that the level of Siren activity in the area under White Eagle's jurisdiction was completely opposite to that on the Royal side.

Unlike the Royal Navy's gradually increasing strength, the Sirens' activity level on the White Eagles' side is actually gradually decreasing...

just like...

It's as if many sirens were drawn to the royal side.

Something unusual must be going on, but even Warspite, with his extensive experience fighting the Sirens, was somewhat puzzled by the situation.

She had never encountered this problem before.

Fortunately, she's not the kind of stupid protagonist in movies who's obsessed with solving problems on her own.

After simply organizing and collecting the information, Warspite directly packaged and sent all the content to Xu Huan's mobile phone.

The young man was having dinner with the ship girls at Aurora's house when he received the message and was slightly taken aback.

As he finished browsing the information, the young man, who had initially relaxed, began to frown.

"Commander... what's wrong?"

Aurora, who was chewing her food in small bites, noticed the change in the young man's expression and asked with concern.

"There are some things going on in the port area... I might have to go there right away."

"Hmm? Is it that urgent?"

Aurora paused for only a moment before immediately standing up and starting to clear the food away.

"Commander, wait a moment, I'll pack some food for you, you can eat it later..."

Chapter Ninety-One Random Thoughts

When Xu Huan arrived at the command center with his lunchbox, Warspite had just finished organizing the potentially useful information he had overlooked and summarized it on the young man's desk.

Upon seeing Xu Huan arrive, Warspite was somewhat surprised by the young man's speed. He put down the file bag in his hand and greeted the young man.

"Commander... Good evening. I've placed the information I mentioned before, as well as any additional documents submitted during this period, on your desk..."

"Good evening..."

Xu Huan nodded and placed the packed lunchbox on the ship girl's table.

"There's no need to rush this kind of thing... Let's eat first."

The sky is big and the earth is big, and eating is the biggest thing.

How can you have the energy to work if you don't eat your fill? I just got off the table, while Warspite probably hasn't even had a chance to eat anything yet.

"Hmm...it smells pretty good, it must be freshly baked, right? Thank you, Commander."

Warspite simply took it, sniffed it briefly, and thanked him.

"Hmm... Aurora's cooking... there aren't any dishes with chili peppers today, so it should suit your taste..."

Of all the ship girls Xu Huan has encountered so far, if we're talking about who makes people feel the most comfortable around her, it's probably Warspite.

That capable and unpretentious style is very much to the liking of young people.

The main reason is that when Xu Huan is with war-weary, he is basically in a state of mind free of distractions and can concentrate on his work.

And unlike Belfast's grudge or Hutten, Warspite won't come over and gently harass you with her body every now and then when you're together.

Of course, aside from personality, this may also be related to each ship girl's strengths in some aspect.

"Aurora's cooking? It's been so long since I've had it..."

Seeing that Warspite had opened his lunchbox, Xu Huan also sat down in his seat, picked up the documents and began to read them.

"Should we call Belfast or someone else to come and help, Commander?"

Warspite, holding his chopsticks, asked.

"No need, no need... Let them rest. The two of us are enough. It's just a special situation..."

Xu Huan shook his head and had his watch scan the documents on the table in front of him, then analyze them.

The information provided by Warspite was very comprehensive. In order to minimize the possibility of misjudgment, it integrated almost all the probabilities that the Royal Navy could collect.

If we were to pursue a precise value, it would likely be another sleepless night, given the efficiency of manual labor.

Fortunately, the watch was efficient enough that it quickly generated several clear and intuitive Siren mental energy activity curves.

Using the dates as coordinates, it is quite obvious that the activity level of the Sirens is increasing at a very slow rate, while the activity level of other factions in their respective sea areas is gradually decreasing.

Everything was just as Warspite had said in the communications device—

The sirens are showing a growing tendency to move closer to Port Royal.

Xu Huan looked down at the date coordinates, found the most obvious inflection point on the curve, and then compared the two.

"The upward and downward trends seem to occur at roughly the same time... This can be interpreted as being influenced by the same cause..."

The young man reached up and rubbed the hair on his forehead, looking at the date on the coordinates.

"Those few days...it seems to have been around the time I had just woken up from my coma?"

Does this mean that the Sirens were attracted from all over the world because of themselves?

What's the underlying principle? It's hard to imagine...

The young man raised an eyebrow and fell into deep thought.

Actually, it's quite simple to verify this conjecture; all you need to do is stay outside, in another faction, for a period of time.

That way, the royal family wouldn't be so bothered by the increasingly active Sirens' incursions, and he wouldn't have to travel back and forth between the various factions...

The time spent in each place cannot be too long, otherwise, as the number of Sirens increases, even the strongest forces will not be able to fight against them all.

This still doesn't take into account the higher-level Siren humanoids.

Of course, it would be great if there were a way to completely solve this performance problem in one go...

At least based on the current growth rate, it will be a long time before it reaches a level that can pose a threat to the port area; everything can be done gradually.

As his thoughts gradually became clearer, the young man's brows relaxed, and he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Warspite, who was standing to the side, took the opportunity to quickly finish the food in his lunchbox, and glanced at the young man sitting at the table out of the corner of his eye.

She originally wanted to go up directly, but seeing that the young man seemed to be in a deep thought, she gave up the idea and waited quietly at a distance.

Since Xu Huan arrived at the port, the ship girls in the port have basically spent some time with the commander. Among the ship girls who have gotten to know him, it has to be said that almost everyone has a very high opinion of the young man's appearance.

The young man's hair was slightly disheveled from being touched by his hand. He had delicate and handsome features, clear eyes, and was completely absorbed in looking at the documents.

Perhaps because he couldn't see everything clearly, Warspite straightened his gaze slightly.

She recalled one of the generally accepted facts among the ship girls in the port area—

When not engaged in combat or on missions, the commander's everyday demeanor exudes a friendly, approachable charm, which, combined with his youthful appearance, is highly appealing to many ship girls.

As for their performance on the battlefield....

You can ask Guanghui; she was saved by Xu Huan once and has the most relevant experience to say about it.

The only slight drawback is that they are a bit oblivious when it comes to emotions. They don't notice many hints and the ship girls have to take the initiative to understand each other's feelings.

However, war-weary felt that this wouldn't have much of an impact.

Firstly, the threat from the Sirens has not been completely resolved, and even the major factions only have a superficial understanding of their commanders, so matters of love can naturally be put aside for the time being.

Secondly... Warspite's own attributes are quite similar to Xu Huan's, and she's also a bit of a straight woman, so naturally she didn't feel there was any problem.

This can be seen from the way the two of them are getting along now.

Although there were only two people in the room, a man and a woman, the atmosphere between Yan Zhan and Xu Huan was like that of upright brothers.

After hesitating for a moment, Warspite secretly took a picture of Xu Huan, recording the scene.

"After spending so much time together... Belfast, who spends every day and night by the Commander's side, and Illustrious, who once saved your life, are both like that. It's hard not to start thinking about all sorts of things, isn't it?"

She thought of her best friend's thoughts and muttered to herself.

Chapter Ninety-Two Rainy Night

After the discussion was over, it was already late at night.

Because of her shift schedule, Warspite had to stay behind to keep watch at night, unlike Xu Huan. So after a brief farewell to the ship girls, the young man pushed open the door alone and walked into the corridor of the command center.

"what?"

Just as he was about to walk towards the street outside, still thinking about the Sirens, a cold wind suddenly blew past and went straight into his collar.

The cold wind pulled him back to reality, and the young man looked at the street.
